With the cutting height adjusted and the engine operating, edging can commence.

1. While the engine is idling, line up the lawn edger cutting blade with the edge to be cut. Use the arrow label on the blade guard to assist in guiding you where the cutting blade will cut.

2. Before beginning to edge, tilt the handle down so the blade is above ground level. This assists in the prevention of kickback.

3. When starting to edge, pull the throttle lever. Run the engine at full throttle and lower the blade gently into the ground. Be careful not to hit concrete with the blade.

4. Walk forward slowly, keeping the cutting blade aligned with the edge to be cut. If the lawn edger begins to slow down due to a build up of grass in the blade guard, walk back slightly to allow the grass to fall out. Let the cutting blade return to normal speed before continuing forward.

NOTE: Some sparks may be generated from the cutting blade while pressed against a solid edge (eg; concrete) to be cut, simply align the blade so no contact is made.

NOTE: If the blade guard becomes clogged, tilt the handle down so the blade is above ground level. This assists in clearing the debris from the blade and guard. If the debris does not fall out, stop the motor, wait for the blade to stop rotating and remove debris from the blade guard.

5. EDGING

5. Continue on until you have successfully edged all sides of your driveway and footpaths etc.

6. Release the throttle lever. Press the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position and let the motor come to a complete stop.

WARNING!: BEFORE EDGING, CHECK THAT THE AREA IS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTACLES AND OBJECTS THAT COULD BE THROWN.

WARNING!: THE MOTOR HOUSING MAY BECOME VERY HOT DURING USE. AVOID CONTACT DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION.

NOTE: If the cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progressively until the desired depth is reached. Do not overload, keep initial cutting depth at minimum. If the edger slows, pull back slightly and wait until the blade returns to normal speed.
